As those of you interested in cinematography know there's a style known as dirtying up the frame that is especially relevant when using super clean digital cameras. As an old film photographer I'd like to get more character into my GFX10S files than I'm seeing using the Fuji lenses, which despite being beautiful are also just too nice and clean! I'd prefer to get a more organic feel with older lenses and other effects rather than trying to dirtying up the files in post, which never looks authentic or organic. What kinds of lenses and adaptors are folks out there finding work well with the GFX? Again, I'm looking to use older "characterful" lenses rather than lenses that resolve perfectly edge to edge. I'm thinking of all the old lenses large format folks put on their Graflexes and large alternate process cameras, cinema people using old, fast anamorphics on Alexa's and other 4K+ movie cameras. I'm a working photographer, so budget is an option. I'd prefer to get just one or two adaptors that I can use with a variety of lenses. I have a range of Mamiya RZ 6x7 lenses, Copal mounted 4x5 lenses and some 60's and 70's 35mm Nikons. I'm not really interested in using the digital Canon lenses I use for work as they're too clean, but I do have access to a range of rental lenses, both stills and motion, as well as lenses I can borrow from friends and colleagues or find on the used market for reasonable prices. Many thanks for any advice or suggestions!

Assuming this is a user error situation, but in the Menu setting, the film simulation setting is grayed out?? Firmware 3.02.

Experience with difference between these two, on the X-T3? I'll be shooting travel, lifestyle, documentary. As much as possible sticking in the 5.6 - 8 range, though I know I'll have to shoot some things wide open when the light is too low for even 1600-3200. I'm leaning towards the 2.8 for size and cost, but sharpness is an issue of course. Thanks!

Just starting down the video road with my X-T3 and hoping for some suggestions and recommendations for some additional kit to allow me to capture some good footage. Current kit: X-T3, 23 f2; 35 f2; 56 f1.4. Additional: 3 batteries, carbon fibre gitzo stills tripod with stills ball head. I have a full Canon 5D IV kit and studio lights for my commercial work. I'm not planning taking any of that with me, but obviously I'd like to have any purchases for the X-T3 kit work with my Canon gear where possible. I'm traveling to Guatemala just for a week with family, hence wanting to shot with the small, lightweight and less obvious Fuji. I'll be trying to shoot documentary travel type footage, so lifestyle, landscape and portraits. Monitors are so important to be able to see what you're doing, so I'm looking at the Atomos Shinobi with the accessories kit (batteries and screen shade); SmallRig cage for camera; Arri-type arm for low angle shots etc; articulating arm to attach monitor. Questions: Do I need a cage for the monitor? How advised would I be to get a shade or some form of lightweight matte-box for the lenses? Suggestions on models to look at. I'm assuming a screw on variable ND filter with step up rings for the best bet for small footprint and ease of use, or are there other options, considerations I should look at? Lenses. I tend to shoot mostly in the medium range when creating stills, but I'm thinking a 16mm may be useful for landscapes and market scenes with video. Any opinions on good, small, but not overly priced 16mm's? I've read a lot of people love the 23 f2, and I do like it, especially it's size, but in trickier low light I do see some issues with it in stills. How do others find it for video? Suggestions on other lenses I should look at? The obvious would be the 16-55, but I'm trying to stick with primes if I can. Thoughts on small, lightweight battery powered LED lights for documentary travel shooting? I prefer soft, naturalistic fill light over more point source obvious lighting. Final question. How much of an issue do people have shooting video handheld with the X-T3? I'd prefer not to add a Ronin-S or haul along a fluid head. Thanks for any thoughts, suggestions!!!
